Starting in AX-3.7, the Hardware Scan Service is an available platform service on a JACE station, providing that the JACE platform has the platHwScan module installed.
To function correctly, the appropriate platHwScanType module also needs to be installed on the JACE. Otherwise, the default Hardware Scan Service View will simply display:
Jar file platHwScanType is required to support this platform
Where the appropriate platHwScanType is as follows:
| Controller Series | platHwScanType module
|
|---|---|
| JACE-2/6 (200/600), JACE-6E, JACE-3E | platHwScanNpm |
| JACE-7 (700) | platHwScanJvln |
| JACE-603 (JACE-403 with retrofit board) | platHwScanJ603 |
| JACE-645 (JACE-545 with retrofit board) | platHwScanJ645 |
| JACE-x02 Express (202/602-XPR or M2M) | platHwScanXpr |
| JACE-NXS/NXT | platHwScanNx |
| Security JACE (201/601) | platHwScanSec |
This default Hardware Scan Service View provides a diagram of the controller that shows its communication ports and other features (including, if applicable, installed option cards), and has callouts to a table that explains each item’s location, description (such as COM2), port type, and status.
